Angry Gas $.. again

Gouge, Rape, and Pillage.. why such a wide swing in prices in just a few miles? Bastages...

Dropped my daughter off at HS this AM in N. Eastham.. saw 2.29 up that way.. swing thru Orleans (2.33) on my way to Chatham (2.27), had to go to Ford Dealer for a recall on truck.. get out of there.. and drive to Harwichport, 'cause I know the prices will be cheaper there.. 2.11.. was 2.12 at Cumbys there, and 2.33 at Cumbys Orleans.. same owner... If we had an Honest Atty General I'd send a email, or snail mail.. but, with who we got.. it's just better to vent here

it jumped UP 3 cents on Saturday and down 5 yesterday up here.

I've given up trying to figure out this gouging stuff.

THEY'RE MAKING A FREIKIN DOLLAR A GALLON PROFIT! ANYONE who says different needs to go look at wholesale, add the taxes and there's that stations cost.

Even Sorrenti is down to $2.21

Shell across from Leo's in B Bay has been 2.17 for awhile now.

I saw this cruiser go by and eyeball me - was wondering if it was the Bro but then I thought he's probably too senior to go out in 8 degree weather on a Saturday
